Ethogram of Immature Green Turtles: Behavioral Strategies for Somatic Growth in Large Marine Herbivores. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Animals are assumed to obtain/conserve energy effectively to maximise their fitness, which manifests itself in a variety of behavioral strategies. For marine animals, however, these behavioral strategies are generally unknown due to the lack of high ...
